HASP-LOCK.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 24, 1907.

Application filed October 11,1906. Serial No. 338,473.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that LEDWARD E. STACY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Central City, in the county of Merrick and State of Nebraska, have invented a new and useful Hasp-Lock, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to hasp locks.

The objects of the invention are to improve and simplify the construction of such devices; furthermore, to increase their efiiciency in operation and to decrease the expense attending their manufacture.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds,the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of the following claims without departing from the spirit of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages.

1n the accompanyingdrawings forming part of this specification: Figure 1 is a front elevation of a hasp lock constructed in accordance with the invention; Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the hasp lock; Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1, showing the weather guard in section and the casing removed; Fig. 4 is an end view, partly in section and partly in elevation, of the improved hasp lock in the form particularly adapted for use on sliding barn doors; and Fig. 5 is a detail view of a modified form of fastening for mounting the hasp on a sliding door.

Like reference numerals indicate corresponding parts in the different figures of the drawings.

The reference numeral 1 indicates a portion of a swinging door; and 2, a portion of a door frame. Mounted upon the door 1 is a hasp whichis indicated generally by the reference letter A, said hasp being adapted to cooperate with a keeper B connected With the door frame 2. v

The hasp A is pivotally connected with the door 1 by means of a bolt 3. This hasp preferably consists of a member or plate 4 which, as shown in Fig. 2, is fitted flat against the door 1 and projects beyond the edge thereof so as to lie against the door frame 2 when the door is closed and secured to the inner member or plate 4 is a easing or housing 5 which is provided with a flange 6 suitably bolted to the inner member or plate 4, as shown. The inner member or plate 4 and the housing 5 of the hasp A are both formed at the free ends thereof with registering catch openings or slots 7 and 7 respectively which, when the door is closed, are adapted to receive the beveled outer end 8 of the keeper B. It will be understood that as the door swings closed, the upper wall 9 of the opening 7 of the plate 4 engages the beveled end 8 of the keeper B and causes the hasp A to ride upward on its pivot 33, after which the upper wall 9 of the opening in the inner member or plate 4 drops down behind the hook or projection 10 of the keeperB and holds the door in locked position in the same manher as an ordinary door latch.

For the purpose of raising the hasp A so as to disengage it from the keeper B and unlatch the door, the hasp A is provided on the outer portion thereof with a lifting handle 11. Furthermore, said hasp A is provided on the inner side of the door with a lifting handle 12 such as an inwardly-projecting strip that extends through a vertical slot 13 in the door and is secured to the plate 4 of the hasp A so that by means of the handles 11 and 12 the hasp A can be raised from either side of the door.

For the purpose of locking the hasp A in engagement with the keeper B whenever desired, said hasp is provided with a spring-pressed bolt 14 which is adapted to slide in brackets 15 in the casing of the hasp. The spring-pressed bolt 14 at its forward end is adapted to enter a bolt opening 16 formed in the keeper B. When the hasp A is engaged in the ordinary manner with the keeper B, so that the upper wall 9 of the bolt opening 7 is fitted behind the hook 10 of the keeper B, the springpressed bolt 14 is disposed out of line with the bolt opening 16, as indicated by the dotted lines in Figs. 1 and 2; that is to say, the forward end of the spring pressed bolt 14 is normally located below the bolt opening 16. When it is desired to lock the hasp in engagement with the keeper, said hasp is raised until the bolt 14 shoots into the bolt opening 16.

For the purpose of holding the springpressed bolt 14 either in advanced or retracted position, a locking device C is employed, said locking device consisting preferably of a spring pin 17 adapted to enter either a forward socket 18 for locking the spring-pressed bolt 14 in retracted position, or a rear socket 19 for locking said spring-pressed bolt in advanced position when in en gagement with the keeper B. The spring pin 17 is adapted to be moved out of engagement with the sockets 18 and 19 by means of a lever 20 which is pivoted at one end, as indicated at 21, and at the other end is connected with the spring pin 17, so that when a key is inserted through the keyhole 22 and is rotated and the locking device raised, the spring-pressed bolt 14 can be thrown rearwardly by means of a bolt handle 23 which extends outwardly through a slot 24 in the hasp A. If it be desired to dispense With the use of the locking device C, the slot 24 can be provided with a lateral extension 25 of the old and well-known form, so that by turning the bolt handle 23 until it enters the lateral extension 25 of the slot 24, the bolt 14 will be locked against longitudinal movement.

It will be understood that when the improved hasp lock of the present invention is used upon an ordinary swinging door, the keeper B will be rigidly secured to the door frame 2 in any suitable manner. When the improved hasp lock, however, is used upon a sliding door, such, for example, as an ordinary barn door. sus: pended from hangers, it is necessary to employ a keeper construction such as illustrated in Fig. 4, whereinv the keeper B is secured to the upper leaf 26 of a hinge, the lower leaf 27 of which is suitably secured to the rear or inner side of the door 1. The keeper B projects outward through an opening 28 in the door. For. the pur.- pose of permitting the keeper B to be thrown backward intothe dotted line position. inFig. 4 while the door. is; beingrnoved to closed; position, a. handle 29.which. p,r,o jects through an. opening 30in the door. 1 is secured to; the upper leaf 26 of the hinge. By grasping. the handle 29 and pushing rearwardly on, the same, the keeper B will be thrown into the dotted linepositionsoas not to age hasp A nt l he lid ngd o a been m ved into closed position, after which, by drawing-forwardl upon. t e handle 29, the ke pe B. s.v caused: o. move hroughi he catch pening 7 ea to ,lockthe do r.-

It maybe preferable, inpreparing the hasp lock tor the market, to supply a bolt 3;and astapl e oreye bolt 32 with each hasp lock, so thatthe user can. employ. the lattertor either a sw inging or,.s1iding door, as desired.

Forthe purpose of protecting the lockin device I G, as

well asthe other mechanism in the casing of the hasp A, from the effects of. the rain, a weather strip 31 is secured to the hasp A, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4, said weather strip 31 being preferably in the nature of a curved strip which is approximately semi-circular in cross section and is fitted at one edge 32 intothe space between the inner plate 4 and the door 1', the other edge of saidistripprojecting outwardly beyond the casing of the hasp A so as to protect the same from mois- 1 ture.
